Zen Words for the Heart Hakuin's Commentary

Hakuin Zenji (1689-1769) was one of the most important of all Japanese Zen masters. His commentary on theHeart Sutrais a Zen classic that reflects his dynamic teaching style, with its balance of scathing wit and poetic illumination of the text. Hakuin's sarcasm, irony, and invective are ultimately guided by a compassion that seeks to dislodge students' false assumptions and free them to realize the profound meaning of theHeart Sutrafor themselves. The text is illustrated with Hakuin's own calligraphy and brush drawings.

Norman Waddell is a professor of international studies at Otani University in Kyoto, Japan. He is also the translator of The Essential Teachings of Zen Master Hakuin and Zen Words for the Heart: Hakuin's Commentary on the Heart Sutra.
